A new kind of swimwear trend is sweeping the Chinese beaches in Qingdao in eastern China's Shandong province
Unisex!
As the weather gets hotter, both men and women are seen appearing on the beaches wearing full body suits that cover from head to toe.
A bit odd...
The upper part of the swimsuit has a ski-mask with holes cut out at appropriate places to leave the eyes, nose and mouth exposed, giving the wearer an odd look.
The name
The Netizens are calling the swimwear 'face-kinis'
Jellyfish beware!
The mask are a way for Chinese bathers to protect their skin from the sunburn, but it turns out that they are equally handy at repelling insects and jellyfish
What's the Price?
Facekinis started as a do-it-yourself garment, but now they can be found at swimwear shops for 15 to 25 yuan ($2.40 to $4.00) each
